About Me

I live in Ibaraki, Osaka teaching English to kids. I have long loved Japan and am eager to explore all over the country, make Japanese friends (and non-Japanese friends!) and improve my Japanese! I'd especially like to pick up a Japanese hobby.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to make friends, see the world and save money.

Interests

I love to read, write, hike, make costumes, go running, see nature, visit museums, draw, do art, hang out with friends, watch movies and TV...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love the Beatles! I enjoy Lord of the Rings and similar types of movies, and also Star Wars.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2007 I sold off most of my belongings to go on a spontaneous trip to England for two weeks. It was awesome and I wish I could do that sort of thing more often.

Teach, Learn, Share

Holding on to a grudge is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to suffer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to practice English with you. I'm very courteous and will help you clean up, keep tidy, be polite. I'm funny and out going and hopefully we can share stories.
